Significant Liver-Related Morbidity After Bariatric Surgery and Its Reversal-a Case Series.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 45 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundNonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) occurs in up to 80% of patients with obesity. Current data suggest an improvement of NAFLD after established bariatric procedures.
objectivesThis study investigated liver function impairment after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB).
settingUniversity Hospital, Bariatric Surgery Unit
methodsIn this single-center case series, consecutive in- and outpatients after bariatric surgery who presented with severe liver dysfunction from March 2014 to February 2017 were included and followed until March 2017.
resultsIn total, 10 patients (m:f = 2:8; median age 48 years, range 22-66 years) were included. Liver dysfunction occurred after a median postoperative time of 15 months (range 2-88 months). Median %excess weight loss at that time was 110.6% (range 85.2-155.5%). Liver steatosis/fibrosis occurred in 70%, cirrhosis in 30% of patients, and led to fatigue (90%), ascites (70%), hepatic encephalopathy (30%), and upper gastrointestinal bleeding (20%). Elevation of transaminases, impairment of coagulation parameters, thrombocytopenia, and hypoalbuminemia were present in 70, 80, 70, and 100%, respectively. In eight patients, lengthening of the alimentary/common limb led to an improvement or complete remission of symptoms. In one patient, liver transplantation was required, one patient deceased due to septic shock and decompensated liver disease.
conclusionsSevere liver dysfunction may also occur after bariatric procedures such as OAGB and RYGB. A comprehensive, meticulous follow-up for early identification of postoperative liver impairment should be aspired. Bypass length reduction led to a fast improvement in all patients.
